Mahindra Logistics Limited's Q2FY25 EBITDA fell short of estimates, with network services growing 46.1% YoY, while 3PL saw a modest 6.8% increase. Gross margins improved in network services but declined in 3PL due to unabsorbed space and increased manpower costs. The company plans to invest INR 500mn in Rivigo, aiming for EBITDA positivity by Q4FY25, though achieving the necessary volume growth appears challenging. Consequently, FY25E/FY26E EPS estimates have been reduced by 61.5% and 6.8%, respectively, with a revised target price of INR 420.
The Q2 earnings season is in full swing, with major companies like HUL, Bajaj Finserv, and TVS Motor set to release their results today.

Bajaj Finserv reported an 8.2% profit growth, reaching Rs 2,086.97 crore, alongside a 29.5% rise in total income.
UBS has upgraded AO Smith (NYSE: AOS) from Sell to Neutral, raising the price target to $80 amid a more balanced risk-reward profile. The shift follows a 27% decline in the stock this year, with optimism surrounding potential government stimulus in China and easing margin pressures in North America. Despite mixed third-quarter results, AO Smith remains focused on long-term growth, bolstered by a strong cash position and a consistent dividend history.
Hyundai Motor India shares rebounded 6% to Rs 1,929 on October 23 after a disappointing market debut, where they listed at a discount and closed over 7% lower.

ICICI Securities has upgraded Persistent Systems (PSYS) to a BUY rating, setting a target price of Rs 6,140, reflecting a potential upside of ~19%.

The stock is valued at 51x on projected EPS, with a 3% increase in FY25 estimates following a Q2 earnings beat.
Gravita India reported a 7.7% YoY increase in production volume for Q2FY25, driven by an 8.7% rise in Lead (Pb) output.

The company maintains a BUY rating with a target price of INR 3,265, supported by favorable regulatory conditions for scrap collection.
Investors in Lendbox's P2P lending scheme, operated through MobiKwik Xtra, are raising alarms over alleged disbursements to potentially fraudulent borrowers without adequate disclosure.

ICICI Securities has maintained a SELL rating on Indus Towers, setting a target price of INR 280, up from INR 270, due to stable net tenancy additions and strong cash collections. Despite positive indicators from VIL/BSNL rollouts and rising 5G demand, the risk-reward remains unfavorable.
